I'm not so sure about that.  I think that the god of the Bible is pretty poorly defined, and there isn't really a place where a comprehensive description can be found.  As with so much of the Bible, the bits and pieces that are scattered all about can be taken to create a pretty wide range of gods.  It just depends on which bits you select and which you leave out.  You could probably use several different verses to show god to be a normal human being, and several others to show him as an unstoppable force of nature.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
